THOR's Hammer

Random Notes and Observations on a solid weekend.

- When you're an espresso freak, it really hurts when your machine flakes on you before you ride to Platte. Long day, no espresso. However, that was nearly the only negative of the day.

- Okay, the wind wasn't my friend riding out to Platte, but that just reminded me of TransIowa, so it was good. Sort of.

- Cameron and Sam came up and said hello just after the start of the Sport Field looking like members of The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Apparently, they worked it like rockstars the night before. Cameron and I chatted quite a bit throughout the day and, as I believe CVO said, he's just a solid guy who I think we'd all love to have around more, even if he wasn't blazing fast. Just a great guy.

- Travis failed to rock the chops, but it was fun both watching him race and hearing him answer the various questions posed. Well spoken and articulate. No wonder he made Chops In Modern Cycling.

- Supporting Sam's "Your bikes suck" theory, as the raffle came to the point where the wheels were given out, Cameron looked at me and said, "You could use those, couldn't you?" Ummm Yeah.

- Over 2K was gathered for THOR. Props out to John and the LBC crew. While I am sure it was a labor of love. Putting on an event like that is never easy. Nice job to everyone involved.

- Finally, the realization hit that I need to go to more local races, so expect the Snob to be rocking the Single Speed Category next year. Good times.

Tony, miss having you around man. It was a good time and would have just been better with you there.

Unless a basketball game had broken out.

Man, I miss that kid already,

Cam need to just move into the D street hotel.
although I doubt his wife would be down for that,

or his sponsor,

I was so happy to see that kid at platte, but bummed he didn't race,

he is deffinatly my favorite guy to hollar for,

you may have seen me in my element cheerin for our local boys,

but expect to see me get naked and run behind Cam the next time I get the chance just to make him go faster..

he'll be trying to get away from a skinny naked mexican lookin dude with a beard, yelling his head off spillin his beer down his uh,,,
sack.

good times are a commin.

Skip your chops are way better than any of those guys in the Brian Jonestown Massacre. I would have like to have come out, but at least I got to kick it w/ those guys around the fire. We'll totally get into the house next time.

Imagine me and you I do

I think about you day and night

It's only right

To think about the girl you love

And hold her tight

So happy together

If I should call you up invest a dime

And you say you belong to me

And ease my mind

Imagine how the world could be

So very fine

So happy together

I can see me lovin' nobody but you

For all my life

When you're with me baby the skies'll be blue

For all my life

Me and you and you and me

No matter how they toss the dice

It had to be

The only one for me is you

And you for me

So happy together

I can see me lovin' nobody but you

For all my life


When you're with me baby the skies'll be blue

For all my life

Me and you and you and me

No matter how they toss the dice

It had to be

The only one for me is you

And you for me

So happy together

Me and you and you and me

No matter how they toss the dice

It had to be

The only one for me is you

And you for me

So happy together

So happy together

How is the weather

So happy together

We're happy together

So happy together

Happy together

So happy together

So happy together
